Innovative Detailing uses the following source for our customers bumpers when they choose not to use their license plate.When the brackets or plates are off, the results are those ugly holes that are left, but check out this site............

I was just thinking about the same thing this week. I'm moving to a Kansas where they don't use front plates and I was trying to decide what decorative plate to put there, but I would definitely just get those bumper caps.

I bet it will be a couple hundred to have that sanded, bonded, and painted at a body shop. I wish I just never had them put the plate on, but I didn't want to give cops an excuse to pull me over at night.

Okay, my Bumper Plugs arrived. At the spot where the dealer holes were drilled, there wasn't enough room behind the bumper to put the plugs all the way in, so I had to snip the stems to make the plugs much shorter. That should not affect their holding power. I followed the Bumper Plug directions and drilled out the holes to 1/4", plus I had to trim off some plastic at the holes edges that was sticking out. Here are the before, during, and after shots.
Before, with the BMW shiny rondel tag:

The holes. (There are two sets of holes: large holes and really tiny holes. For now, I'm ignoring the tiny holes.)

And after. I think it really looks good. (The water on the driveway is from washing, polishing, and sealing the area that had been under the front plate.)

Mine turned out really nice. I'll get some pictures up. I drilled the holes out just slightly bigger, then trimmed off a couple small pieces of plastic to get a good fit. Went in nicely. Washed the car today and then I re-sealed the front bumper where the plate was to get protection from all the summer insects.
